Defensive end Brandon Graham had the critical, game-changing strip sack of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady -- a play that helped lock up the victory for the Eagles. After the game, Graham poured out his joy during an interview on NBC, as he spoke about his strip sack.

"I just kept going," Graham said. "We said we needed a play. If we got one more opportunity, we were going to give everything we got. And I just so happened to get there. I'm just so thankful, because we've got a team that's resilient.

"We're going to stick around for a long time. And we're world champs, baby, and it feels so good. I'm just happy, because we are world champs. And we worked our butt off. Everybody that doubted us, we're world champs, baby."

Coach Doug Pederson sent a message to Eagles fans after the game, during his NBC interview.

"I've got the best players in the world," he said. "It's a resilient group. I love this coaching staff. Not only do we have the best fans in the world, we now have the best team in the world. Thank you, guys."

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie didn't mince words about what this means to his franchise.

"If there's a word called 'everything,' that's what it means to Eagles fans everywhere," he said on NBC. "For Eagles fans everywhere, this is for them."

Lurie called this Eagles team "the most unique, together group of men I've ever seen -- an incredible group of men -- in all my years of life. To come together, with all the adversity and injuries and losing our franchise quarterback [Carson Wentz]. Incredible group of men. The coaches, beyond great. I'd like to dedicate this to all the Eagles fans around the world, and also for this one especially, for my mom and my dad, who mean the world to me. Thank you."
